Add or delete two row table with header

[Fixer321]

Hello,

I am designing a "Parts Acquisition" form to keep track of parts ordered in my auto repair shop.

I want to be able to "Add" and "Delete" rows at random, the table has two rows with a header right now.

I want to change this depending if the part has arrived or not. I want the table to expand or contract.

I have seen other examples to add rows and delete rows but they just add a row at the bottom and delete just the bottom row, I want to delete not just the bottom row but any row.

I have added "Add" and "Delete" buttons but they have no functionality yet. I need to make them work in the manner described above.

Thanks in advance

John

Hi John,

The easiest way to give a user the ability to delete a particular row is to include the delete button within the row.

There is a sample here: https://acrobat.com/#d=RZ1lzX23*u7L4N9rtWCYPQ

The thing to bear in mind:

1. Form must be saved as dynamic
2. Page or subform containing table must be set to flowed.
3. addInstance has a parameter "1" or "true".
4. removeInstance has a parameter for the instance number that you want to delete (zero-number based system).

You can also include buttons within the rows to move the row up or down.

Hope that helps,

Niall

Naill,

The second row needs to be added also not just the first row "Row1" because the notes and the checkboxes need to repeat also.

In my original table there was a header row and two rows below it those two rows need to repeat when the add button is pushed. I hope this makes sense.

I tried to figure this out on my own but I am lost.

Hi John,

I have put both rows in a group and repeat the group. All of the script now refers to the repeating group.

To be honest I think you would be better off with textfields in a repeating subform, instead of a table. It is easier to arrange the objects and is less temperamental.

Good luck,

Niall
